The Times today is taking the rare step of publishing an anonymous Op-Ed essay. We have done so at the request of the author, a senior official in the Trump administration whose identity is known to us and whose job would be jeopardized by its disclosure. We believe publishing this essay anonymously is the only way to deliver an important perspective to our readers. We invite you to submit a question about the essay or our vetting process here.
President Trump is facing a test to his presidency unlike any faced by a modern American leader.
It’s not just that the special counsel looms large. Or that the country is bitterly divided over Mr. Trump’s leadership. Or even that his party might well lose the House to an opposition hellbent on his downfall.
The dilemma — which he does not fully grasp — is that many of the senior officials in his own administration are working diligently from within to frustrate parts of his agenda and his worst inclinations. I would know. I am one of them.
To be clear, ours is not the popular “resistance” of the left. We want the administration to succeed and think that many of its policies have already made America safer and more prosperous.
But we believe our first duty is to this country, and the president continues to act in a manner that is detrimental to the health of our republic.
That is why many Trump appointees have vowed to do what we can to preserve our democratic institutions while thwarting Mr. Trump’s more misguided impulses until he is out of office.

He won’t be there for long. This is his last mistake.
It’s Jeff.
This is almost certainly fake news, made up out of thin air like so many other MSM stories about PDJT.
If Trump is driven crazy, I wouldn’t blame him. He is being “gaslighted.” It’s insane
Fake Undercover Report from the failing NYT.
ANYONE could have written this. For Drudge to headline it is a BONEHEAD move.
You are correct. In an attempt to hurt Trump, that person is revealing highly classified info that hurts the security of the US.
When this person says “TRUMP” they mean YOU! THE PEOPLE voted for Trump and they are resisting THE PEOPLE!
Can you imagine them doing this to the “Dear Leader”?
Is this “senior official” named Rod Rosenstein?
Fire the person.
They know very dark days lie ahead for the deep state and liberal/media/democrat operatives, so they are now pulling all the stops out, like this POS and the Woodword steaming pile...
Anything, no limits.
This is the newest - coordinated with all the usual suspects. Bernstein’s book, now the media- “It’s chaos in here!!”
All Trump has to do is go to a rally and denounce all of it.
Start firing people too, if he needs to.
Still and all, this is from the SLIMES..........
I don’t believe this is a real person being “quoted”.
Just a feeling.
After Woodward’s book basically being wholesale BS, this “story” coming on the heels of said book looks to me like a coordinated action against President Trump (#82895408).
Same type of narrative. Convenient.
I don’t remember voting for this guy.
Or demonstrates his true agenda, once again.
And probably more than just the dead from the neck up elf.
Drudge is part of the resistance. Haven't been to his site since Trump was elected.
